Tamagawa Shiboritate Nama-nama Sake
Tamagawa, but light?
I thought it was, but when I paired it with a meal, the flavor really shone through.
It's a little less robust than usual.
It's light, but the sweet umami pulls it through.
It's better with a little air.
We are on a family vacation.
Learning the lesson from the last time, we were not going to make it to the famous sake store we wanted to visit, so we bought a tama cup at a local supermarket in advance. ‼️
The color is Tamagawa ^_^.
It was purchased at the brewery for GW and is sold only at the brewery.
It is fresher and has a gentler sweetness and acidity than the Tamagawa Unfiltered Nama Sake that I often drink.
It was fresh and less sweet and acidic than Tamagawa's unfiltered nama-zake, which I often drink.
Tamagawa is still very strong.
Rich sweetness, acidity & mellow peculiarity
Alcoholic feeling is low besides
The aftertaste is also sweet, but what can I say?
Brown sugar...
I don't know...
Easier to drink than expected.
The day to use the Antarctic ice in the freezer is here.
I had a preconceived notion that nigori from Tamagawa would be mellow 🤔But this is super refreshing and dry! It is also very fine and smooth 👌It seems to be good for dishes with soup stock.

The mouthfeel is clean and creamy. The aftertaste is like a diluted banana shake. Easy to drink. Delicious.
Heisei sake for this season of 2025.
The sake was so delicious even when served cold that I couldn't help but smile, but I had it heated to 70 degrees Celsius.
It is said to have an alcohol content of 20 to 21, but it was an excellent sake that did not make you feel that.

I thought it was a crane, but it was a stork 🙄.
First of all, cold sake 🧊.
It is almost amber in color.
It has a strong acidity and a slight umami.
It has an aroma of maturity and alcohol, "the sake" 🍶.
Next is heated sake: ♨️
I got it at 60 degrees.
The acidity and alcohol are noticeable 🧐.
When it dropped down to about 50-45 degrees, the acidity settled down and the texture mellowed out.
I can also detect a light nutty sweetness 😊.
About 45 degrees was the best time to drink it.
Heated sake is interesting to search for the right drinking temperature 😉.
Hi Hiro 😃
I see! Is it better to raise the temperature of heated sake and then let it cool down 🥰.
I haven't been drinking the sake lately so I'd love to have a glass of heated sake 😊.
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
My father, who runs a heated sake shop, told me, "You can enjoy heated sake more if you start it at a warmer temperature than the optimum temperature ♨️" 😄It's the season for heated sake to go with oden🍢.
After work. I drank Tamagawa for the first time in a while.
It has a unique bitter flavor, but it's also very sharp 🍶.
As I get more and more into Japanese sake, I'm starting to like this kind of austere sake 🤣.
